Gabapentin side effects?

Ya. I had no meaningful side effects to begin with - but here we are. I am disappointed because I hate the whole trial/error process of finding a medication that works.

I also wanted to comment on the effectiveness of opioids that I saw in another thread. T3's work for me, and I really wish I could find a doctor who would treat my SFN with that. I am very respectful of them and take only as needed. Honestly - I am resentful that I cannot be prescribed a med that I KNOW works and has minimal side effects if not abused, and instead am prescribed meds that 'may cause some patients to be suicidal'. Seriously. How much sense does this make? Rant over.

I hear you and know how lucky I am to have a PCP who tusts me and prescribes an opiod.It is the only thing that helps my pain and allows me to function. And even that is not 100%...it's in addition to Lyrica, and now Nortriptyline. The nights when I have maxed my allowed number of hydrocodone and can't sleep from pain, I turn to an extra strength THC pill. Absolutely crazy.

@iceblue Trial and error is what it is about as we age and now with narcs,opiods being taken off the market I just heard where Lyrica will be next . I have been fortunate that my Dr. still can give me my Tramadol I don't abuse it either . We need a new President who wont do this to us.

Ugh
